The Crumpet's Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge! Day 1 - Dots

Greetings All!

Are you ready for a new challenge? Am I? I do enjoy a challenge - it forces me to do nail art I wouldn't usually do! This one is running three days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the next 11 weeks. It isn't too late to join in, you can do so here.

Here's a look at all the themes!


I appreciate the effort of making the graphic match my blog lol.

So there are definitely some themes I wouldn't choose to do on my own, but I kind of like that I have to try different things. There are also a lot of themes I would choose to do!

In an extra added twist, I am going to try and use at least one untried polish (or failing that, an untried stamp) for every manicure. This may prove a little difficult, but I'll give it a go! My untried pile is probably the smallest it's been this year at the moment, and if I could use another 30 in this challenge, I'd be very happy!

Today the theme is Dots. Something I constantly struggle with! It can be such an easy technique, and I see so many stunning 'dotticures', but I struggle terribly with getting uniform dots, and even my random dots aren't very good. Anyway, here's what I came up with.






The idea for this was supposed to be bubbles, and as I used a champagne gold polish, champagne bubbles. But it just kind of looks like some dots! The gold is an untried, a Color Club I think is called Winter Affair (after much searching online!). It's a mini from a Christmas collection, and it's scented with vanilla, I don't know what else it could be! I've had this untried since last December!


Now check out some people who can do dots!

  3. Ok, I'm no wino or anything, so really, I only drink very little for special occasions, but I swear when I saw the thumbnail I thought: wow champagne nails! I totally need to try this! It's super cool, it gives that 3D effect I love. You're so creative <3

  4. Oh, btw, are you still on the tri-polish challenge? how do you manage both?
    I also want to use a max of untrieds during the challenge and also try a maximum of stamping plates! we had the same idea (i suddenly feel more important, haha).

    1. Great minds think alike!

      It can seem like a lot of work, but I usually dedicate one or two days a month to do all my TPC manicures and I'm planning on prepping my 33DC ones each weekend, so I'll only be a week or so ahead. Here's hoping it works out!
